I was a public employee in a previous life. I once won a Montblanc pen (not a super fancy one) at a conference and my boss allowed me to keep it as long as I didn’t bring it in to work. I think eventually the dog chewed it up.

Did you take the dog to the gravel pit? 😬

Easy come, easy go as far as the pen went. None of my possessions are worth more than my beloved pets. A time out in the kennel sufficed.

I had a pair of clogs that were painted on by Dale Chihuly as part of a Museum of Glass event. My dog ate one and I cried, but it was in reality, just a shoe. That pup was one of the great joys of my life. Noem is a fiend.

Oh dear, I misread that! I thought it said you had a pair of DOGS that were painted on. Then when I read the second sentence where you said your dog ate one, I thought "what, one of your dogs ate the other dog?" Then I reread it and realized you said a pair of CLOGS. I'm so relieved!

Love Chihuly! I saw one of his exhibits years ago. What a talent. I’d use the leftover shoe as a decoration in my garden.

A wealthy woman here in the small NM town I live in built a fancy arts theater here. She was a huge fan of Chilhuly & it has numerous of his pieces displayed in it. The biggest one is a huge tree shape done in reds & oranges like fire 🔥

It is. I have a photo of it with me in front of it at Christmas a few yrs ago.

The lady’s name was Jackie Spencer, she or her husband were one-time owners or part owners of the WSJ or something similar

It would be sweet if Biden invited her to the White House and had Commander sit in with them. It would be great to watch her face as Commander just sat there and stared at her. Maybe even growl once in a while.

She does not merit a White House meeting with Biden or Commander.
